Whereas, he retired from a career working at the Charleston Naval shipyard; and
Whereas, Grady C. Murray has served as acting Mayor of the town of Grover for twenty years during which time the town has prospered and grown; and
Whereas, Grady C. Murray is an outstanding individual who is greatly admired and respected in his community for the contributions he has made to Dorchester County and for his leadership in the town of Grover; and
Whereas, it is only fitting that the General Assembly recognize the accomplishments and good deeds of this public servant and fine man. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly, by this resolution, requests the Department of Transportation to name the bridge on Highway 15 over the Edisto River at the Colleton-Dorchester County line the "Grady C. Murray Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs reflecting this designation.
